      I might end up studying to get a math/physics endorsement when I start teaching in Oregon next year. The district I’ll be teaching for has in their collective bargaining agreement that each teacher can request funds for certification exams, and they offer $1000 each year for postgraduate work, so why not? No district I’ve taught for in Texas offers anything like that.

    I redesigned a mechanism for an automata I’ve been working on for over a year for the fourth time, and now it’s like half the size and way more reliable then the previous prototype.

    I made the equivalent of 1 week wage in like two hours today… money can’t buy happiness but I feel good about it anyway.

    I took a couple of very cute selfies in a new outfit and had a difficult but fruitful conversation with my girlfriend about some insecurities that I was having in the relationship.

    And thank you for the question! I include this opportunity to share my joy as a good thing that is going on with my weekend.

    What good things are going on with your weekend?

    I have been trying since January to get a teaching job in Portland (I live in Dallas) for the next academic year, and this week I was offered positions by two different school districts. This weekend, I have been working out which job to go with, I think I’mma go with the one that pays a little more, might be able to offer funds to offset relocation costs, and has less trafficky access to downtown and Vancouver (I have friends in North Portland and Vancouver.

    So yeah…got that figured out; tomorrow I’ll be looking for an apartment, taking my kids to Terry Black’s for some world-class barbecue before Texas is forever in my rear-view mirror, doing some packing, and playing some THPS 1+2.

      Congrats! Going from Texas to Portland, think about transit going into it. In the right mindset for less commute, but play your cards right and maybe you won’t even have to drive to work!

    I finally got a looper guitar pedal I’ve been wanting and after a couple 12 hour shifts finally got to mess around with it this evening!

        Our local city went from a couple of hobbiest to around 20 people getting into it. It’s like a pager lol. But it does have a phone app as well as a web one.
